Guys only AS is leaving. Not others. They might go for fellowships or sabbaticals which is normal.

If AS wanted to really do something for students, he would have stayed. Else faculty just moves around to colleges seeking their benefits. Do something better with your life than making up news.

Join a think-tank only if you want to go down the policy/academia/higher education route. Good exposure and work culture but a lot of negatives as well (Oxbridge/Ivy/kids of bureaucrats cabal). Think tank pay is doable if you don't have a massive education Ioan or family to support, but don't have very high hopes of world-changing research. Please get into this with a clear plan of action and more importantly plan your next steps strategically, esp if middle class and not from generational wealth/social capital. Getting back to law firms after is going to entail pay and experience discounting. . You'll learn it's the same people everywhere, T1s or Vidhi. Good luck!

I did not call NLSIU VC a god. It is you who is suffering from pathological hatred of a person/university. It is you who is apparently on such good terms with NALSAR VC. Everyone here knows for a fact that you are engaging in bad faith since you cannot provide even the flimsiest evidence for any one of your claims.

Hello folx,

How is NLU Jodhpur faring these days? My nephew is preparing for CLAT and had asked for recommendations from me (NALSAR alum, mid 2010s batch). In our time, it was near the top of Tier 2 (with Tier 1 being NLS/NALSAR/NUJS, through my time though NLUD was clearly established as Tier 1 as well). NLU Jodhpur and GNLU were undisputed Tier 2 leaders (with NLIU having started to slip).

Of course, I may be outdated, but how is NLU Jodhpur these days? It did have a good corporate/moot/placement scene in our time - has it kept pace with the post-Covid era, or would it be better to advise something like Jindal)?

1. There were five in mine.

2. Yes, mine had Poonam Pradhan Saxena in it for instance. Not sure if she's involved at NLSIU in some visiting capacity at present though.

3. Not really, though I was asked questions from the subjects that I have taught.

4. Around 40 minutes.

5. It was fairly standard. Some of the questions didn't make any sense and it was clear that the people asking them didn't know much about the subject themselves. However, nobody was openly hostile or sarcastic or anything of the sort.

6. I was told that they would pay 7th CPC and some additional incentives for indexed publications, along with some contributory allowance for children's education.

Overall, I did expect the quality of the interview to be better, given the names involved. However, it was not bad considering my experience at some of the other NLUs.

1. Size of the interview panel. 2. Anyone from outside of NLSIU on the panel? 3. Did they ask you to prepare subject curriculum for review/discussion during the interview? 4. Duration of the interview. 5. Did you find the entire process fair and reasonable and why yes/no? 6. Remuneration was pre-determined or open to discretion by NLSIU? Any pre-interview or post-interview discussion at the university that is interesting enough to share here?

There are some of the queries off the top of my head. Apologies if they seem a tad trivial. Thanks for your time.

Beware of mono-causal explanations! If a country the size of India is in a particular state, then it is because of a multitude of reasons. An ideology can be a hindrance but so can be the general incompetence with which its conclusions are translated into policy. Did India fail because its leaders believed wrongly or because they were not good enough to do anything regardless of what they believed in? That may be a more fruitful question to ponder.

Thanks for your reply. Regarding your first paragraph, I agree with qualifications since it would be greatly surprising if anyone of any particular ideology can rationally disagree on, say, what constitutes good education and that teaching mathematics and logic in schools is part of such an education. I would also argue that a majority of reasonable disagreements are always over details/planning/execution and not over the essential consequence itself that is sought to be achieved.

Regarding your second paragraph, I will say that while it is certainly silly to always chalk up disagreements to reasons of ego, it is sillier still to ignore how petty and spiteful even the very best of persons can be when they realise they cannot agree with each other.

Aretha does some great work. If you're looking - highly recommend also looking at

Bombay Law Chambers (though not sure if they have a delhi office)
Goyel & Goyal (not that much M&A - very high amount of VC)
Vertices (though pay seems to be much lower for the amount of work they do)
Burgeon Law (high volume VC work)

“Justice must not merely be done but it must also be seen to be done. The behaviour and conduct of members of the higher judiciary must reaffirm the people’s faith in the impartiality of the judiciary. Accordingly, any act of a Judge of the Supreme Court or a High Court, whether in official or personal capacity, which erodes the credibility of this perception has to be avoided.”

hi, 2nd year student here, from a tiny university, I mean no one knows the name, it's govt state kind of, so, and have mostly done 2 forum internships so far, and 2 3 online either research or writing based, etc. no publications as of such. I recently applied to a lot of internships, out of which I got selected in one for a law firm, not in my home town, and its in between regular months of college. Still, I applied since attendance is not really an issue in our college, and most classes are not even done properly. My concern is, is it a waste of time as a 2nd year law student, I have seen people applying to law firms from glc, and nlu's since 1st and 2nd year, I know 1st year is too young, but is it beneficial for me to do in 2nd year. I am also worried that in case I skip this, when I go to 3rd year in 6 months, I would have no good internships to actually apply elsewhere useful. (also I have lot of FOMO since non nlu, not good cllg) and had bad grades in the 1st sem, since took partial drop, and I am trying to do better and improve now

Know two people who got internships at L&L and Saraf via this. The downside is that any partner who has the time for this (most, not all partners, would be extremely busy and receive at least 40-50 emails a day) will probably not have that much work. It's rare to find a good team via cold emailing, but good luck. Try emailing HR instead, especially if you have a strong CV.

I had a rather amusing experience of working across this team on one transaction, KCO comp team would often back track on its own comments/inputs, unnecessarily disagree with the suggestions made by other lawyers on the transaction, and then drum rolls please by the sixth or seventh round of comments on the draft, end up introducing the
